Pearls of the seminar:
|
- It's quite easy, if we worked on it for 2 hours we'd get it (JR)
- The car looks like a photo with screwed up developing (MR)
- We look like 6 bears with an onion, except there is three of us,
we are not bears and
we don't have the onion (JR)
- Shall we take this turn? (JR) ...
Why not. (MR 200m after the turn)
- Well. (MR, after finishing his pizza and knowing that he is
not entitled to the last slice)
- It's quite empty here. I miss the people who'd leave once we
began (JH)
